Picking all the road teams because I'm a dumbass but nothing else has worked for me this season. May as well crash and burn at this point. I originally had KSU over Baylor but changed it when I realized I picked the road team in the other five games. 🤣

Like I said....

Welp, so far it’s not working 😀

3-0 so far this week for 20 points. Pretty sure that's more points than my last double points week across all 6 games. Looking forward to going 0-3 on Saturday because I don't deserve good things.

This is true. Looks like there was a 34-hour window, which isn't much (9 AM Mon - 7 PM Tue). I know there was one other time in the season where there was a small window - I posted the games on Sunday and we had a Maui game or two the next day (Monday afternoon, no less). I offered some later games during the week as an alternative.

My typical standard is to post the games Monday morning, and the earliest possible games will be Tuesday. Here's what I'll offer. I'm okay with you getting one bonus game if you can you get 4 other posters to endorse this option - either by liking this post, or explicitly stating they're okay with you getting an additional game.

But, the 12 & 10 point games are nixed. So right now, your picks are worth 8-6-4-2. The additional game would be worth 10 points.... And I'd probably try to find the most 50-50 contest out there.

only person with the guts, courage, forsight, geniusness to pick TAMU at 12 points. No wonder this guy's running away with it this year.
 
Are you also going to pat yourself on the back for your Baylor pick?
I'm getting around to it...


I'll make up for that one later in the week. I talked up Drew all week in the Bill Self Kansas fan circle jerk thread and this is how he repays me?

Mike is the first person to express an opinion on this matter. Obviously GE Nole can't get 4 votes if people don't say anything. Since nobody is saying anything, I feel like I need to tweak the voting format. Everyone has until midnight tomorrow. If the majority of those who vote are okay with GE Nole getting a bonus game (i.e. he's currently winning the vote 1-0), then I'll allow it. If the vote is tied, then I'll be the tie-breaker.

Everything tells me to switch it up and go against the, but I've come this long so everyone could measure against them. Maybe next year I'll go 100% opposite.

It’s fine by me. It’s literally a free pickem contest. I’m not too worried about it lol
 
He should’ve used the Virginia at Boston College game, I would’ve racked up the points.

I essentially predicted a UVA loss in the ACC thread. Didn’t expect a blowout but you can’t play with fire against horrible teams like Louisville and Notre Dame and expect to keep getting away with it.

Good by me. Will make my victory that much sweeter with all these rules being instituted mid season clearly designed at knocking me off the top of the standings. I feel like Lew Alcinder when the league outlawed dunking.

I'm +6 on you this week, meaning I'm actually beating you right now.
 
standings say I"m +5 on you. You know something I don't? I take it you did the math on eliminating the bad week from everyone's score.

I'm saying when you include the scores so far this week, where I'm at 20 and you're at 14, that would put me at +1.

ahh, I got you. Week's not over, let's not get carried away about the scores right now. If SD State and UNC win you're right back there eating my dust.
 
@GE Nole okay you have enough votes now.

TCU @ Texas Tech will be the 10 point game for you.

Thanks, fellas. And thank you, DD, for initiating this.

Great game choice. True toss up. Give me TCU for the 10 points.

Even better, I’m popping my Vegas virginity this weekend so maybe I’ll throw down $50 on TCU so it’s really a big win if they do it!

Damn, you F'd up. Tech is fighting for a tourney spot. We will not lose this game.

Okay, here are the lowest weekly point totals. I think @ExitFlagger has benefited the most. Didn't lose any points, and he's now only 11 points behind in the leaderboard.

mediocre? You're the only person who's been double digits every week. That's something to hang your hat on when end up finishing in in 5th place.

I blame you 2 for this loss. Uncalled for!

Having a triple point week on the last week should be looked at.... in other news Tennessee finds a way to beat SCar by 40.. have they got a March run in them?
